BUL• SESSION 4 fA 71 .b» .-. 7d,"'79:1,;ST--.02--•i 8.1,#C- /3,- -, #;Af..S,f - I-1. L 1 National Model Railroad Week ... A date to prepare for is National Model Railroad Week, February 11-20. This is the time we get a chance to show off our hobby to the general public so everyone can learn about the fun and pleasure to be found in model railroading. If your club specializes in operation, you may want to practice a bit to sharpen your performance. In a club the most golden-voiced member may be selected to ofIer a running commentary and explanation of what is going on, either in person or on tape. If you use a p.a. system and tape, be sure to get professionalquality advice on loudness, pauses in speech, sound and music effects, and so on. The general public knows little about prototype railroad operation, and unless you tell them what you're doing-and why-the greater part of your visitors will just see a bunch of guys playing with trains. If you can't have a member or recorder explain operations, you can pass out an explanatory sheet. If your layout, home or club, has an unfinished section, don't worry about it. Here again, if you explain what you are doing and why you are doing it, many visitors will be interested in the project under construction and how it is made. Another good idea used by several clubs during National Model Railroad Week in the past is to have members actually working on models: possibly a member putting a loco kit together, another member assembling a simple car kit, a third working on a craftsman-type kit. Added possibilities are assembling structures and scratchbuilding either a car or structure. (These participants should have lots of patience, a good sense of humor, and a ready tongue, to put up with the interruptions of the visitors, and they should be able to answer the many questions that will be asked. Publicity can often be had, almost for the asking, from local newspapers and radio-tv stations, but be sure to ask for such publicity-and get the information they need to them-well in advance of the actual dates of your particular show so the news or features editor or the station program director can schedule it at the proper time for the best effect. You might also make signs announcing the show and place them in stores where the public will see them: drugstores and grocery stores in particular are extremely good for this, especially in smaller towns. Good luck and lots of visitors; and, we hope, some converts to the most interesting of all hobbies. January 1967 Ak -' ta - - --'97, D 4894 : 2 17 -3' ir //4 51 #AM .1 1,1'.
